This is something I can't help but think about. I play Pokémon a bit too much lol
Harry never had a Pokémon before. Not until Piu-Piu, that is.
PIU-PIU is Rotom!
An electric/ghost-type pokémon that:
can invade and control his phone;
can hack other appliances (allegedly);
speaks ~human~;
makes mischief;
but also uses its abilities to help; and
time travels!!!!!!!!!
And look at that face. I can hear it going wee-woo and annoying Harry all the time...
Apparently you can also customize your Rotom-phone, so Rosé cover to match Piu-Piu's natural colour~
Also, Rotom's basic move is Thunder Shock / Electric Shock. You know, just like Piu-Piu.

But Piu-Piu isn't his. They're just following Harry around. His first actual Pokémon is a goldfish he won in the market (D89, lunch chat).
Poseidon is Seaking!
It'd be potentially funnier as a Magikarp, the most underestimated pokémon of all time, but the thing is: Magikarp can evolve. And they become Gyarados.
Poseidon's a goldfish, which Seaking are based on it;
The last on their evolution line (no, she won't grow);
Literally called the King of the Seas! And in the beta games, originally called "Neptune" - a.k.a. Poseidon. A perfect fit.
I especially like corycatte's artwork for Seakings - which features several variants created through breeding;
To fit pokémon canon, I believe Poseidon's fins and/or horn wouldn't be so well developed, since they're the main reason people catch Seakings. (Not that it matters to Harry, anyway);
I don't think he'd want to keep her in a PokéBall, but if he ever had to, it'd be a luxury ball, obviously.

(Harry is 100% a swimmer class)
That being said, Harry wouldn't become a trainer, I guess. Battles are a hassle and violent. But maybe he'd use Poseidon's powers to kick people out of his apartment.

Bonus: "furball" is Lillipup!
He doesn't talk much about it (D73, breakfast), so I'm not settling this, but what screams "furball" more than Lillipup??? It's also a quiet, clever dog, so I imagine baby!Harry would like it. If they stayed together, Lillipup would've been a nice companion and fierce defender...
I especially like the idea of a shiny one, that has lighter fur.
Yamper is second best choice, since it's a dog from Galar (nod to his ancestry). And it likes to follow fast people / things :)
